Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan: I never get tired of this song.

Green Day - American Idiot: Although Green Day used to be known for Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) or Basket Case, American Idiot seems to be today's Green Day cliche and I do get tired of it, but I like it anyway.

Coldplay - Yellow: I love Coldplay, this a beautiful song, but I wouldn't listen to it over and over.

I don't think this is very good to think of a band and only know them by one song. I love the Beatles and they have over two hundred wonderful songs. Owl City isn't so popular, but I love him too.Although it would be awkward if someone requested a Beatles song and something like "It's Only Love" was played.

I always think of "Self esteem" when I think of "offspring" even though it seems like other songs like "why don't you get a job" are the ones most people know them for.

Oh, and with Audioslave I think of Like a Stone.Seether is "Fine again". Coldplay is "clocks".

And Hoobastank is... surprisingly is not "Because of you" but "Running away", which is the first song from them that I heard and hooked me.

I agree, Gianni. I think it is nice to get immersed into what a group has to offer, after all if we already liked one, there may be more gems within. BoB Dylan, The Eagles, Off Spring, Green Day, Cold Play, Linkin Park, etc.

However, I don't mind the fact that there will be a first song that will come to our heads upon hearing a name. It doesn't mean it is all we know them from, simply the association we make.

Exceptions in my case:Rebecca Black (Friday!) and Justin Bieber (Baby, baby, Oh!) are two people that I only know one song and I don't feel compelled to search more or have been exposed to other themes.

I keep coming with more names and songs, but I'll stop here for now. :]
